The Once & Future Podcast

Today’s official tour stop is at Literary Escapism. In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, I do a post about my faux memoir, ROAD RAGE.

Bonus: I was interviewed by Indigo Teen Blog — and Death makes an appearance!

HUNGER also recently got a terrific review at the Starmetal Oak Book Blog.

And you should stop by Figment, where I am interviewed by Lisa (protagonist of HUNGER) and Missy (protagonist of RAGE).

And here we are at Day 4 of the Crossroads Tour, at Book Bound! Come on over, find out if I’m still drawing comics, then go to the Crossroads main page for today’s question.

And now, the Very Special interview: a tw0-part Post Mortem interview. Part 1, at The Book Smugglers, has Death interviewing me. Part 2, here on Post Mortem, is between Death and Lisabeth.

Today I’m visiting Book Faery! I talk to Tori about my sibilant S, my pseudo-secret identity, who should play Death if HUNGER were a movie, and other things. Stop by, and then be sure to check out the other author interviews on the Crossroads Tour so you can answer today’s question.

And look: more HUNGER reviews and interviews!

Eleni at La Femme Readers asks me what is the craziest thing that I’ve ever done, and other burning questions.

Heather at Bewitched Bookworms reviews HUNGER.

Amy at Amy Reads also reviews HUNGER.

And Dani at On Vision Purple also reviews HUNGER.

Edited: And even more reviews and interviews:

Adventures in Children’s Publishing: an interview and a poster giveaway!

Writing Is A Blessing: a review, and interview and a poster giveaway!

The New York Journal of Books reviewed HUNGER!

And Justine magazine has three short reviews of HUNGER!

More reviews of HUNGER have been coming in…as well as a number for RAGE! (For the record, it’s very surreal to see reviews of book #2 before book #1 has technically launched.) Here are a few:

Wayfaring Writer: another interview with me, as well as a review of HUNGER

Miles 2 Go: reviews both HUNGER and RAGE

Bibliophilic Monologues: re-posts a HUNGER review

Writing Is A Blessing: selects RAGE for this week’s Waiting On Wednesday

Reading Angel: reviews HUNGER

Whatchamacallit Reviews: reviews HUNGER

Okay, so maybe that’s a lot and not a few. My continued heartfelt thanks to all who have read and reviewed HUNGER (OMG, and RAGE)! HUNGER officially launches on Monday. I’m giddy!

Separately…I finished the LOSS synopsis, finally! My fabulous crit partner has weighed in, and now my agent is reviewing it, along with the first five chapters of the book. Fingers crossed she likes it!

I also have a snippet of HUNGER posted at the Deadline Dames. (Did you know I’m a Deadline Dame? Now you do!) The excerpt is from chapter 5, when Lisa meets Death and realizes exactly who–or what–he is.

Over at the Chapters Indigo Teen Blog, you can read about the Smart Chicks’ favorite smart chicks–nine YA paranormal authors discuss which characters were their role models when they were growing up. The fabulous Rachel Caine has something extremely cool that she added.

Later today, there should be a (God willing, positive) review of HUNGER over at The Book Cellar. It’s not up yet. I’m sort of biting my nails as I refresh the page. Once the review is up, I’ll link to it. [Edited to add: Alas, the book wasn't to the reviewer's taste. Here's why. Oh well!]

And my local library told me today that they’ve ordered HUNGER. Yay! **throws confetti**

Thanks, Diane!
